　　《自然哲学的数学原理》是一次科学革命的集大成之作，它在物理学、数学、天文学和哲学等领域产生了巨大影响。在写作方式上，牛顿遵循古希腊的公理化模式，从定义、定律（即公理）出发，导出命题；对具体的问题（如月球的运动），把从理论导出的结果和观察结果相比较。全书共分五部分，首先“定义”，这一部分给出了物质的量、时间、空间、向心力等的定义。第二部分是“公理或运动的定律”，包括著名的运动三定律。接下来的内容分为三卷。前两卷的标题一样，都是“论物体的运动”。一卷研究在无阻力的自由空间中物体的运动，许多命题涉及已知力解定受力物体的运动状态（轨道、速度、运动时间等），以及由物体的运动状态确定所受的力。第二卷研究在阻力给定的情况下物体的运动、流体力学以及波动理论。
